Could your socks be hiding a heart problem? Some signs of peripheral artery disease or PAD can show up on the feet, including wounds that won’t heal, slow-growing toenails, cold feet and skin color changes. PAD raises the risk of amputation, heart attack and stroke, but it can be treated if it’s caught early. Take off your socks at your next doctor's appointment and ask about PAD.

A blood clot in the lungs can feel like “pagod lang” & “hingal lang” — until it suddenly isn’t.

A pulmonary embolism (PE) happens when a blood clot travels to the lungs, blocking blood flow and making it harder for the body to get oxygen. It can become life-threatening very quickly, which is why recognizing the signs early matters.

Signs and symptoms to never ignore:

• Sudden shortness of breath
• Chest pain or discomfort
• Fast heartbeat
• Dizziness or fainting
• Coughing up blood
• Leg pain or swelling

Don’t scroll past this. Save it — you might remember these signs when someone needs help the most. 🙏🏻
